The story begins with Vijay capturing a major terrorist of Pakistan and for this success his wife Mehar organizes a party. In this party Mehar asks her son to say something for his father but his son Harman stutters while speaking and looks scared. Vijay feels embarrassed about this and leaves from there.
Actually Vijay wants Harman to be fearless like him but on the contrary Harman is a little weak and timid. Because of this he does not get the love from his father which he needs. Meanwhile, terrorists from a neighboring country kidnap Harman and demand the return of their comrades in return.
At this point Vijay has to choose between his country and his son and Vijay chooses his country. Eight years later, during a campaign, Vijay meets his son but in a completely changed manner.
